Overview of SafeNet eToken Virtual and SafeNet eToken
Rescue
SafeNet Authentication Client supports software tokens.
The following types of software tokens are available:
 SafeNet eToken Rescue: provides a solution when a staff member loses or damages a token
when away from the office. SafeNet eToken Rescue is a read-only token. You cannot import
certificates. It operates for a limited period of time.
 SafeNet eToken Virtual: performs all the functions of an eToken NG-OTP. It supports OTP
generation (if so configured).
In Mac OS, SafeNet eToken Virtual is locked to a particular flash drive. This means that it can be
used only on the flash drive where it was enrolled.
NOTE SafeNet eToken Rescue must be run from a folder where the user has read-write permissions. If not,
it will not be recognized by Mac Keychain Access.
